Warehouse company, local o cials face residents at tense meeting in Boyle Heights

LosAngelesCounty

and city ofﬁcials along withrepresentatives from Lineage Logistics faced a tense audience last week in Boyle Heights, as community members sought answers on recovery efforts and support for residents following a massive ﬁre at a warehouse facility that has caused concerns about local air quality and public health.

During the evening meeting on the July 9, LA Mayor Karen Bass said she plans to spend more time in Boyle Heights, including at night, after residents reported odors from Lineage's warehouse get worse after dark.

Bass and Hilda Solis, LA County Board of Supervisors chair whose District 1 includes Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles communities, were booed by visibly angry residents.

The mayor apologized to the audience at Stevenson Middle School for the confusion surrounding the city's response, acknowledging that the smoke generated by the ﬁre was harmful. Bass promised multiple environmental investigations into the blaze that burned for eight days the Lineage cold storage warehouse at 1400 S. Los Palos St.

She also pledged to survey warehouses throughout LA's Eastside, South Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley for possible environmental hazards and risks, while holding Lineage and other businesses accountable for

harm caused to adjacent communities.

Jeff Rivera, chief operations ofﬁcer for Lineage Global, also apologized.

"I'm sorry for the disruption this has caused," Rivera told community members.

He said the company was expanding the fire response by doing door-todoor outreach with people who live closest to the warehouse and providing housing assistance via 211 LA, grocery vouchers, cash financial aid, air conditioners, air purifiers and assistance paying utility bills.

Rivera also announced plans to launch a community support hotline this week.

He estimated 200 workers were doing cleanup work around the clock and approximately 1.4 million pounds of ﬁre-damaged material has been removed thus far, another 3.2 million

pounds is staged for removal and demolition has begun.

According to Rivera, the city's 45-day goal for completing cleanup efforts was aggressive, noting similar ﬁres can require as long as six months for remediation.

Duringthepublic comment portion of the meeting, residents questioned the city's response, medical care, relocation assistance and the potential long-term health effects of the ﬁre.

Boyle Heights resident Maria Lopez urged ofﬁcials to experience the conditions ﬁrsthand, saying, "I would like for you to come sleep where we sleep, so you can experience what we have to go through."

Other meeting attendees wondered why the facility

should be allowed to reopen, complained about communication failures and demanded stronger protections for surrounding communities. Residents also asked why lessons apparently had not been learned after a 2024 ﬁre at the same warehouse.

Officials from the South Coast Air Quality Management District told meeting attendees that monitoring during the fire found no elevated levels of metals or hydrogen fluoride.

According to Solis's ofﬁce, county staff, volunteers and community organizations have distributed more than 10,000 air puriﬁers, plus N95 masks, food, water and other essential supplies.

"Emergency relief is only the beginning," Solis said in a statement following the community meeting.

LosAngelesCounty

SupervisorLindsey Horvathintroduced a motion Tuesday calling for the county to support a lawsuit ﬁled by California and 11 other states looking to block the proposed takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance.

Also Tuesday, the Writers Guild of America ﬁled a lawsuit seeking to cancel the deal.

"For too long, working people have borne the cost of corporate consolidation, while jobs disappear and production leaves our region," Horvath said in a statement. "Our economic analysis shows this merger could put thousands of local jobs at risk. As the global capital of the creative economy, Los Angeles County has a responsibility to help make the case against this merger by providing the facts, supporting Attorney General (Rob) Bonta's litigation, and standing up for the workers, small businesses, and communities that depend on this industry."

The Board of Supervisors is expected to vote on Horvath's motion next week. The motion calls for the county to support the lawsuit ﬁled Monday in Northern California, possibly through the provision of legal support or the ﬁling of an amicus brief in court.

Earlier this year, at the direction of the Board

of Supervisors, the county Department of Economic Opportunity prepared a report on possible impacts of the proposed merger. That report estimated that the move could lead to nearly 2,500 job losses in the county, and about 6,000 globally.

The jobs at risk would mainly be in corporate, tech, real estate and other shared functions due to duplicative roles across the two companies, according to the report. The department noted in the report that its job-loss estimates should not be read as a layoff forecast, saying the document only deﬁnes the scale of possible employment impacts that may be subject to consolidation.

In announcing the lawsuit Monday, Bonta argued that the merger, which has already been approved by the U.S. Department of Justice, would lead to higher prices for consumers and a reduction in entertainment content.

Bonta said the $110 billion merger — considered one of the biggest media deals in history — would put one company in charge of nearly one-third of all theatrical motion picture and basic cable programming.

Other states joining the lawsuit were Arizona, Colorado,Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Washington. Paramount Skydance

Lineage warehouse operators hit with 2nd odor violation notice in 2 days

For the second time in two days, the operators of the burned-out Lineage Logistics cold-storage warehouse in Boyle Heights were hit with an environmental violation notice due to persistent odors wafting into nearby communities, local air regulators said Tuesday.

The South Coast Air Quality Management Agency announced Monday that it had received more than 40 complaints from residents near the warehouse on Sunday due to odors emanating from the site -- where more than 85 million pounds of rotting food is in the process of being removed. As a result, the agency issued a notice of violation to Lineage due to the smell.

AQMD officials said state health and safety rules "prohibit emissions that cause injury, nuisance or annoyance to a significant number of people or the public."

they have already distributed more than 600 air purifiers and 2,000 masks as part of its earlier community donation;

-- provision of grocery vouchers redeemable at a Food4Less store on Olympic Boulevard;

-- cash assistance provided through pre-paid cards; and

-- support to assist residents with payments of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power utility bills.

and rodents.

Hundreds of mostly angry residents packed a community town hall meeting in Boyle Heights last week, lashing out at Lineage company officials and elected leaders — including Bass — and demanding protection and compensation, including funding for temporary housing.

Lineage officials last week announced a series of community support efforts, specifically:

The fire broke out June 17 at the warehouse at 1400 S. Los Palos St. and raged for eight days, sending a massive amount of smoke into the atmosphere and prompting warnings for nearby residents to stay inside.

The city, county and state all issued local emergency declarations in the days following the fire.

The notice of violation can lead to civil penalties, or potentially a lawsuit if no settlement is reached.

According to AQMD, more than 40 complaints were received again on Monday due to odors from the warehouse, with people again reporting "rotten, sour, garbage-type

odors." After confirming the smell was coming from the warehouse, the AQMD issued a second notice of violation to Lineage on Monday. Efforts to remove the food and other debris from the fire-damaged warehouse are continuing. The most recent figures from Lineage indicate that 356 tons of food waste have been removed from the building, with 835 tons of overall waste taken away. Lineage officials said they hope to complete debris removal from the site within 45 days, meeting a deadline imposed by Mayor Karen Bass.

Residents have been complaining loudly about impacts from the fire, most notably citing issues such as noxious odors, vermin, flies

-- vouchers for shortterm hotel and rental assistance for "residents who choose to temporarily relocate during the cleanup and remediation process";

-- delivery of more air purifiers, air conditions and masks to residents, with company officials saying

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but Lineage officials have said they believe the fire started while a subcontractor working for Altus Power, which owns the solar array on top of the building, was conducting tests on the panels.

Altus Power has stated its first concern is for the community affected by the fire.

Alex Theatre in Glendale to screen 'The Odyssey' as part of cinema revival

ThehistoricAlex Theatre in Glendale will return to its roots as a movie house this week with the start of a three-week engagement of Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" in 70mm format.

The screenings, scheduled to run from Friday through Aug. 6, coincide with a broader effort by the nearly centuryold venue to expand film programming and upgrade its projection and sound capabilities.

The theater, which opened in 1925 and was originally built as a first- run movie palace, has spent much of the

last several decades operating primarily as a venue for concerts, dance performances, comedy shows and community events.

Officials said the theater recently installed new sound systems and both 70mm and 35mm film projection equipment as part of an effort to accommodate large-format film presentations.

"We are reclaiming our place as one of L.A.'s premiere venues for cinema," Alex Theatre Artistic Director Miles Williams said in a statement. "With our new large-format film projectors, new audio systems, and

growing community of film curators -- we look forward to hosting L.A.'s cinephiles and movie lovers of all ages in our historic theatre."

"The Odyssey" is based on Homer's ancient Greek epic poem chronicling Odysseus' long journey home following the Trojan War.

The Alex Theatre, located at 216 N. Brand Blvd., is one of a limited number of Southern California venues equipped to screen films in 70mm format.

Tickets and additional information are available at the theater's website, thealex. com.

Spring is typically one of the housing market’s busiest seasons. May and June are historically some of the biggest listing months of the year and are when “For Sale” signs and moving trucks dominate the streets.

This year, though, the season didn’t exactly show out. Cotality’s Home Price Index shows U.S. home prices rose just 0.3% year over year in April 2026, the weakest appreciation in years, and as of January about 34% of the 100 largest U.S. markets were posting outright year-overyear declines. Per Zillow’s April 2026 market report, new listings outpaced sales for the first time in 2026. Yet on paper, Americans have never held more housing wealth.

Splitero dug deep into data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), ICE Mortgage Technology, Zillow, and Cotality to show how rate-locks are preventing Americans from capitalizing on their paper wealth.

The rate-lock effect

The mechanics of the rate-lock effect are simple, but brutal. Take, for instance, a homeowner with a sub-6% fixed mortgage. They face an enormous financial penalty for selling and buying at today's rates. Trading a 3% rate for a 6.5% to 7% mortgage can add about $1,000 per month to the payment on a median-priced home. Many homeowners understandably decline this trade-off.

Trading a sub-4% mortgage for today’s 6.75% rate on the same medianpriced home means paying anywhere from $3,900 to

The great staying put: Why a record share of homeowners are cashing in without selling

By Trevor Mahoney for Splitero via Stacker

nearly $8,000 more every year, according to the Zillow April 2026 market report. The deeper the discount you’re giving up, the steeper the hit. Federal Housing Finance Agency data from the third quarter of 2025 shows just how deep that discount runs. More than half of homeowners are locked into a rate below 4%, and just under 80% sit below 6%.

The agency even quantifies the impact of this problem in a 2024 working paper. For every percentage point that market rates exceed the origination rate, the probability of a sale drops by 18.1%, according to their data. In plain terms, the higher today’s rates sit above the rate a homeowner already has, the less likely that homeowner is to sell. With most owners holding rates set well below current ones, the predictable result is a market where 1.72M fewer homes traded hands between Q2 2022 and Q2 2024.

That missing supply has a counterintuitive effect on price. With so few homes for sale, competi-

tion for the ones that do list pushed national prices up an estimated 7%, more than cancelling out the roughly 5.6% downward pull that higher rates would have had on their own. So even as demand cools, prices have stayed stubbornly high.

Record equity, and almost no one is touching it

The lock-in effect doesn’t just stop people from selling. It also reshapes how they reach the money tied up in their homes. U.S. owners are sitting on record equity but are disincentivized to access it through sales or cash-out refinancing.

According to ICE Mortgage Monitor data, however, equity withdrawals in the first quarter of 2026 rose 2% year over year and hit their highest first-quarter level since 2021. This is still far below the long-run historical norm.

The preferred method for those accessing equity today without selling is taking out second liens, often home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), which leave the existing first mortgage untouched. Per the same ICE

data, in the first quarter 2026, 54% of all equity extraction came through second liens, leading to second-lien lending reaching an 18-year high. This equates to 3.9 million homeowners from 2020 to 2022 who have now added a second lien.

Similarly, average HELOC introductory rates fell to 6.6% in March 2026, which is their most attractive level since late 2022. A $50,000 withdrawal today costs roughly $275 per month, which is down significantly from highs in early 2024. Despite the potential for lower HELOC costs, withdrawal rates for second liens are still below historic norms.

While homeowners are still extracting equity using secondary methods other than selling or refinancing, it’s a barren market compared to past years.

The hard part isn’t having equity. It’s getting to it.

Record equity doesn’t help much if you can’t reach it. Homeowners are sitting on trillions of dollars in equity, much of it gated

behind the qualification hurdles that traditional products demand. HELOCs, cash-out refinances, and home equity loans typically require income verification, strong credit, and a debtto-income check, and a refinance also means giving up the low first-mortgage rate that locked owners are trying to protect.

That gap is part of why home equity investments (HEIs) have grown as an alternative. Instead of a monthly payment, an HEI provides cash today in exchange for a share of the home’s future value, with no income verification and credit-score minimums that can start around 500. For an owner who is equity rich but doesn’t qualify for, or doesn’t want a new monthly payment, it’s one of the few ways to access equity without selling or refinancing.

What would break the lock-in effect?

Breaking the lock-in effect comes down to closing the gap between the rates owners already hold and the rates they’d face if

they moved, and a few conditions would have to line up for that to happen.

There are hopeful signs. Inventory is growing, and rates have edged down from 2025 highs. Homebuyers in April 2026 had roughly 3% more purchasing power than a year earlier.

The first factor that could mark a major change is a return to the 6% range on 30-year fixed mortgages. This could trigger a meaningful rebound in buyer demand, according to Zillow.

Additionally, the share of mortgages locked at sub-3% naturally erodes over time. This gradual "aging out" of ultra-low-rate cohorts slowly releases inventory back into the market. HELOCs can also act as a pressure valve. Homeowners who need liquidity are leveraging equity via second liens rather than selling, which preserves inventory tightness.

The future of the housing market

The great “staying put” isn’t caused by stubbornness. Tens of millions of households have a valuable asset they locked in at an affordable rate, but it vanishes the minute they choose to sell. Instead, those homeowners have chosen to stay longer, renovate their properties, and continue to build record-setting equity. Until mortgage rates fall or enough low-rate loans drop out of the system, we’re likely to continue to see more of the same.

Water warnings issued as triple-digit heat drives LA County beach visits

As Southern California endures another day of dangerous heat, public health officials Wednesday were warning beachgoers to avoid entering the water at several Los Angeles County beaches because of elevated bacteria levels that could increase the risk of illness.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued ocean water warnings for the following locations:

-- Temescal Canyon storm drain at Will Rogers State Beach, 100 yards up and down the coast from the storm drain;

-- East Temescal Canyon storm drain at Will Rogers State Beach, 100 yards up and down the coast from the storm drain;

-- East Montana storm drain at Santa Monica Beach, 100 yards up and down the coast from the storm drain;

-- Wilshire Boulevard

storm drain at Santa Monica Beach, 100 yards up and down the coast from the storm drain;

-- South 28th Street storm drain at Manhattan County Beach, 100 yards up and down the coast from the storm drain;

-- Mother's Beach in Marina del Rey, entire swim area;

-- Inner Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro, entire swim area;

-- Castlerock storm drain at Topanga County Beach, 100 yards up and down the coast from the storm drain;

-- Topanga Canyon Beach in Malibu, 100 yards up and down the coast from the lagoon; and

-- Santa Monica Pier, 100 yards up and down the coast from the pier.

Health officials said the warnings were issued after recent water samples showed bacteria levels exceeding state health standards,

which could increase the risk of illness for swimmers, surfers and others entering the water.

Meanwhile, the county lifted warnings for the Bel Air Bay Club storm drain at Will Rogers State Beach and Solstice Creek at Dan Blocker County Beach after recent testing showed bacteria levels had returned to within state health standards.

The warnings came as Wednesday was expected to bring some of the hottest temperatures of the week to Southern California, sending many residents to the coast as inland temperatures climbed into the triple digits.

Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24 hours a day on the county's beach closure hotline, 1-800525-5662. A map of impacted locations and additional information are available at PublicHealth.LACounty.gov/ Beach.

" The Killing Spell," a young adult fantasy mystery set about 200 years into the future in Los Angeles — where the majority of Hawaii’s population ﬂed after a cataclysmic ﬂood sank their islands — was released April 14 in the U.S. by Saga Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

A debut book from native Hawaiian Shay Kauwe, it follows the story of Kea Petrova — the youngest clan leader at the homestead — who ekes out a living by selling handcrafted magic spells. Her quiet life is upended by the murder by death spell of Angelo Reyes, a prominent Filipino activist, and she becomes the prime suspect. She has to act fast to ﬁnd the killer and clear her name.

Language is at the heart of the tale. Throughout the book, Kauwe sprinkles Hawaiian phrases and one-word spells that will certainly delight logophiles. In her foreword, she explains that she included the diacritical marks to indicate how the words are pronounced to help readers. Linguaphiles will most assuredly agree with her when she says, “Languages are wonderful, beautiful, strange things that change and shift as they please.”

Kauwe’s love for language began in her childhood and she has always been partial to reading fantasy books. Some of those she enjoyed as a child — which have stood the test of time — are "The Hero and the Crown" by Robin McKinley and "The Old

Kingdom" series by Garth Nix.

But she never dreamed that she would one day join the ranks of fantasy authors. That happy outcome happened in a roundabout way.

“When I was 21, I moved to Russia — for a man. You can imagine how thrilled my parents were with that,” recounts Kauwe with irony.

“But I was in love, and I knew that he was the one. He was, too! We've been happily married now for 10 years. That said, I made this huge leap and began living in St. Petersburg, Russia, learning Russian by necessity without thinking too much about it.

“There was this moment, maybe three years in, where I was sitting in our cold apartment in the middle of winter, watching Moana, and just sobbing,” Kauwe continues.

“The language there, while not Hawaiian, was similar enough that I could make out words, and it struck me that here I was, half-way across the world, and I knew my partner's mother tongue better than my own.

“It was a lightbulb moment, and I knew then that I wanted to go home and learn Hawaiian,” adds Kauwe.

“I foolishly thought it would be easy. I spoke Russian now! How hard could it be? So, I was incredibly frustrated when I couldn't get things as quickly. Immersion was a huge part of my language learning process, and the hard truth is that as an adult, that isn't a feasible option for many learners of Hawaiian. It is a consequence of coloniza-

tion that we still have to deal with to this day. All of that frustration and shame, I took and funneled into this book, which is why it was so important for me to have a main character who struggled with relearning her indigenous tongue.”

When Kauwe began writing "The Killing Spell," she knew how her story would end at the outset.

“Funny enough, I needed to rewrite my book about eight times throughout this process," she relates. "However, the beginning and the ending never changed. I had a clear idea of what the emotional core and character arc for Kea would be, and that remained consistent during every revision. What changed was the progression of my plot and the clues that led Kea to her conclusion. The magic system also became a lot narrower in scope as I rewrote the book, so that greater emphasis was placed on language.”

Instead of setting "The Killing Spell" in her native Hawai‘i, her book takes place in LA and the reason is twofold.

“One, it was a nod at the reality of diaspora Hawaiians, who have in my lifetime become the majority which has been a wild shift to witness,” explains Kauwe. “Secondly, Hawaii can often feel really isolated from the larger politics of the U.S. This

book is a conversation about indigenous rights to land, water, language, and culture, and I wanted those conﬂicts rubbing right up against the policies of the U.S. rather than separated by an ocean.”

On whether the story's end after "living" with these characters for ﬁve years was a happy or bittersweet moment for her, Kauwe replies: “It's deﬁnitely bittersweet to have this story end! I'd love to continue Kea's story and dive deeper in the world of 'The Killing Spell' and explore different languages like Russian and Japanese in more depth, as well as Sora's family.”

As to her book’s message or reader takeaway, Kauwe says, “It's so important to learn our mother tongues, but we have to be kind to ourselves in the process. No one is perfect from the get-go, and quitting is the only way to truly fail at it.”

Readers who really liked "The Killing Spell" will be

glad to know that Kauwe has something in store for them.

“I have a book coming out next year which is totally separate from 'The Killing Spell,'" she says. "'House of Salt' will be my ﬁrst foray into the horror genre. It's a modern gothic set in Hawai'i, about a young Hawaiian woman who scams tourists out of their money by pretending to be a kahuna and ‘cleansing’ them of evil, but when she's invited to the estate of a wealthy hotel heiress she discovers that the ghost lurking there may actually be real — and the only thing that might save them all is a real kahuna. I'm really excited for this book and can't wait to have it out in the world.”

If "The Killing Spell" is any indication, Kauwe’s next book promises to be another pageturner. It’s hard to imagine now that this is the same practical kid who never thought writing and publishing a book would be something she’d accomplish in her lifetime.

Pasadena City Notices

Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission

Notice of Public Hearing for Amendments to Title 17 (Zoning Code) of the Pasadena Municipal Code (PMC) related to Special Purpose Zoning Districts, Inclusionary Housing, Density Bonus and Concessions/Waivers, Signs, Standards for Specific Land Uses, Land Use/Development Permit Procedures and Definitions and an Amendment to the Central District Specific Plan

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Planning and Community Development Department is bringing forward Amendments to Title 17 (the Zoning Code) of the Pasadena Municipal Code (PMC) and the City’s Central District Specific Plan. This includes changes to the following:

1) Chapter 17.26 (Special Purpose Zoning Districts) – Update the list of permitted uses and development standards for the Open Space (OS) and Public/Semi-Public (PS) zoning districts;

2) Chapter 17.30 (Central District) and the Central District Specific Plan – Add development standards for Granite Drive (e.g., sidewalk width, parkway, street setback, ground floor frontage type);

3) Chapter 17.42 (Inclusionary Housing Requirements) – Reduce the eligibility thresholds for inclusionary housing from 10 units to five units;

4) Chapter 17.43 (Density Bonus, Waivers and Incentives) –Adopt a Model Density Bonus Ordinance; include procedures and findings to approve Concessions and Waivers;

5) Chapter 17.48 (Signs) – Miscellaneous updates;

6) Chapter 17.50 (Standards for Specific Land Uses) – Update the following Sections:

a) 17.50.030 Adaptive Reuse Projects – Updates related to hotels and motels;

b) 17.50.040 Alcohol Sales – Remove ‘Food Sales’ uses from the requirements of the Ordinance;

c) 17.50.075 Conversion of a Hotel or Motel to Affordable Housing – Remove this Section;

d) 17.50.280 Senior Affordable Housing Regulations – Replace with a new Section outlining operational standards for ‘Secondhand Sales with Donation Drop-off’ uses; and

e) 17.50.310 Telecommunications Facilities – Update language related to permitted zoning districts.

7) Chapter 17.60 (Land Use and Development Permit Procedures) – Update to Table 6-1 regarding the review authority for different types of decisions; and

8) Chapter 17.80 (Glossary) – Update the definitions for affordable housing.

PROJECT LOCATION: Citywide and within the Central District Specific Plan (roughly bounded by the 210 Freeway to the north, Pasadena Avenue and A-Line to the west, Del Mar and California Boulevards to the south, and Mentor and Wilson Avenues to the east).

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Planning Commission will consider whether adoption of the proposed Amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), under the “Common Sense” exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed Amendments will not increase development capacity on properties or add uses that will generate impacts on surrounding properties. The Amendments will implement programs of the General Plan Housing Element related to inclusionary housing, density bonus and concessions/waivers, adaptive reuse, and streamlining the review process for housing projects. Other Amendments focus on clarifying and cleaning up text related to special purpose zoning districts and signs.

APPROVALS NEEDED: The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing and consider the proposed Zoning Code Amendments and environmental determination. The Planning Commission recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council, who will make a final decision at a separately noticed public hearing.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing and consider the proposed Zoning Code Amendments and proposed environmental determination. The hearing is scheduled for:

Date: Wednesday, July 22, 2026

Time: 6:30 p.m.

issued a statement Monday saying the lawsuit "reflects a fundamentally flawed application of the antitrust laws and is wrong on both the facts and the law."

"We will vigorously defend the transaction and demonstrate that this challenge is inconsistent with sound competition policy and the competitive realities of the media marketplace," according to the company. "Delaying this transaction will only harm entertainment workers who have already suffered over recent years as technology has disrupted their livelihood and cost California tens of thousands of entertainment jobs.

"The combination of Paramount and WBD will create a stronger, well- capitalized, creative-first media company that is better positioned to compete with companies like Netflix that have come to dominate the industry for audiences, premium content, and creative talent. Put simply, any attempt to block this transaction undermines the very principles antitrust

law is designed to promote: more competition, more choice for consumers, and more opportunities for creators and workers."

The estimated $110 billion transaction would combine Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros., studios whose histories span more than a century. The combined company would also include the Paramount+ and HBO Max streaming services, the CBS broadcast network and cable channels including CNN.

David Ellison, CEO of Paramount Skydance, has previously said the merger would honor the legacy of both companies while creating a next- generation media and entertainment business. Ellison is the son of billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. If the deal closes, David Ellison would control CBS News and CNN, Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros., and subscription streaming services Paramount+ and HBO Max.

The deal has faced opposition from some entertainment industry profession-

Paramount-Warner Bros.

als and elected officials who argue it would further consolidate ownership in the media industry.

More than 1,000 entertainment professionals signed an open letter in April opposing the merger, contending it would reduce competition at a time when the industry is already highly concentrated.

Writers Guild sues

The Writers Guild of America on Tuesday sued to block the proposed merger of Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery on the grounds that it violates federal antitrust law and would cause harm to writers.

The guild's lawsuit, filed jointly by the WGA East and West in the Northern District of California, alleges that Paramount Skydance's pending $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery would reduce opportunities, lower pay and worsen working conditions for writers.

The WGA argues that the elimination of a key competitor and the creation of a new dominant firm

would result in reduction in the quantity and variety of theatrical films and television series as the merged company would have a greater ability to reduce output.

Furthermore, the complaint asserts that the merger would increase the ability for the few remaining companies to tacitly coordinate to further suppress competition for writers' work.

"With fewer competitors, the merged Paramount-Warner Bros. entity would have both the

Warehouse

incentive and the ability to lower costs by suppressing writers' wages and reducing output," according to the complaint. "Writers will be paid less and have fewer employment opportunities."

The WGA complaint focuses on the alleged anticompetitive effects of the merger in three markets for writing services: anticipated top grossing films, episodic television and streaming series, and overall deals.

"If Paramount succeeds in buying Warner Bros.,

the merged firm will be the largest buyer of original film and television programming in the United States," WGAW President Michele Mulroney said in a statement.

"This would eliminate competition in an already consolidated industry, threatening the livelihoods of entertainment workers and the creative diversity of TV and film," he said. "We applaud the dozen state attorneys general who have stepped up to enforce our antitrust laws and are proud to file suit alongside them."

"Lineage and all responsible parties must provide transparency, a comprehensive cleanup plan, a clear recovery timeline, continued health and air quality monitoring, and resources for residents, workers, and businesses impacted by this disaster.

"This fire also raises larger questions about how industrial facilities of this size are located, regulated, and monitored near residential communities," Solis said. "A fire that took more than a week to fully extinguish exposed the serious risks of inadequate protections, planning, and oversight. I support Mayor Bass’s call for a comprehensive review of facilities like Lineage to ensure current safeguards and land use decisions are protecting public health and safety."

East LA and Boyle Heights have suffered environmental injustice for

generations and "should not have to carry the burden of recovery alone," Solis added, pledging to "continue using every tool available to the county to secure accountability and deliver the support these communities deserve."

Not long before the meeting Thursday, Lineage announced these community support and incident recovery efforts:

- vouchers for short-term hotel and rental assistance for "residents who choose to temporarily relocate during the cleanup and remediation process";

- delivery of more air purifiers, air conditions and masks to residents, with company officials saying they have already distributed more than 600 air purifiers and 2,000 masks as part of its earlier community donation;

- provision of grocery vouchers redeemable at the

Food4Less store at 3654

Olympic Blvd.;

- cash assistance provided through pre-paid cards; and

- support to assist residents with payments of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power utility bills.

staff, volunteers, and community partners, we have distributed more than 10,000 air purifiers, along with N95 masks, food, water, and other essential supplies.

Lineage representatives estimated the company has provided 7,000 meals to community members through a partnership with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.

The fire broke out June 17 and lasted eight days, prompting the city, county and state to issue local emergency declarations. A huge amount of smoke from the fire prompted warnings for people who live nearby to stay inside.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by multiple state and local agencies. Lineage officials have said they believe the fire broke out while a subcontractor working for Altus Power, which owns the solar energy equipment on top of the building, was conducting

"The people living and working in the community deserve timely results and meaningful support," Lineage CEO Greg Lehmkuhl said in a statement. "Over the last several days, we have been meeting with local elected officials and engaging community organizations and leaders to understand how we can best help our neighbors. At the same time, demolition is underway and cleanup is progressing. Right now, our top priority is simple: get this site cleaned up as quickly and safely as possible."

A statement from Altus Power said the company's "first concern is for the community affected by the fire, and we’re deeply grateful to the firefighters and first responders for their efforts. We’re in touch with local officials and are cooperating fully with their ongoing investigation into this fire."

According to Lineage, demolition work on the building started Monday amid ongoing work to remove the 85 million pounds of rotting food, along with other debris. The company hired experts to deal with the vermin that are targeting the tons of rotting food.

Company representatives said Thursday they hope to meet the debris removal goal of 45 days.

"In addition to core demolition and debris removal, Lineage has wrapped

portions of the building with a temporary enclosure barrier to help contain debris, reduce odors and dampen noise for neighboring residents," according to a statement from the company, which is headquartered in Michigan near Detroit.

"Misting systems are operating continuously around the building exterior to further reduce smells," according to Lineage. "Cleanup crews remain on site around the clock. ...

"Lineage is committed to providing regular cleanup updates to the community through its website, social media, door-to-door outreach, printed flyers and ongoing community meetings."
